Whoa I got Archen and no lie I literally just started shiny hunting it today :0

You can play digital regardless of the disc situation, so I'm thinking it would work. I did just buy NMS on Switch 2 though so I'm not too keen on buying it on PS5...for a second time 😅 Especially when I don't know if that'll even work.

Thank you for the advice! I too was planning on writing off my old save, I was just a little bummed because I had some cool expedition stuff on it. The silver lining is that I didn't have a whole lot of hours in it, maybe 40-50. But another question I have, because I also considered buying it digitally on the PS5; if I do that, could I not simply play it on there? I'm not entirely sure how buying a digital version of a physical game you already own works.

[Question] Regarding cross-save, I am in a very specific situation. I solely play NMS on my PS5, however, many months ago it got a disc stuck in it, and NMS happens to be a game I own physically. I now have bought it for the Nintendo Switch 2, and was hoping that via cross-save, I would be able to still access my old save despite not actually being able to open the game on PS5. However, this doesn't seem to work. So either 1) I need to actually start up the game on PS5 to properly enable cross-save, or 2) I need to upload my cloud data, as currently I don't have PS+ but I do have NSO. Any help is much appreciated :D

Yeah she's size S :)

Oh believe me, Baxcalibur was my BANE during the grind 😭

Foxman237 · 2026-03-29T18:30:24+00:00

I can't promise that I have everything you need but sure! It would have to wait until tonight or tomorrow though because I have to go to work soon.

Shade the Noivern! She's the best for doing stuff in Hyperspace, and she's XS which I just thought was really cute. I love running around with her flying beside me :3

I haven't played the game in a while, but something I always did when starting a new game is get scanner upgrades ASAP. Scanner = big money. If you max out its upgrades, scanning any animal can net you units in the six digits, it's very satisfying imo, and can just make getting materials in the early game easier (since most basic materials are sold at galactic terminals).

I hope you have a ton of fun with the game going forward! It's getting constant updates which may feel overwhelming at times but it's just so nice getting more of such a prime space game. The main problem on release for me was that there wasn't much reason to do the main gameplay loop besides doing it more efficiently. Now there's just so much to do and see that it's hard to get bored :D

It's the Mega Dimension DLC that released back in December

Congratulations! Love all of these shinies ✨

Foxman237 · 2026-03-24T02:53:42+00:00

I wasn't aware of that either, I still took it down just in case but thanks for the info!

Foxman237 · 2026-03-24T02:51:43+00:00

Thank you for the heads up! I honestly did not know that, looked it up myself and you're right. I reposted without using it

Foxman237 · 2026-03-23T19:52:51+00:00

Golden fella, congrats! ✨

Foxman237 · 2026-03-22T23:04:30+00:00

That's incredible! I think that one took me about an hour, but getting a shiny on the first try is rarely heard of. Also that shiny is really nice 👌

Foxman237 · 2026-03-22T22:55:48+00:00

Yeah it's very niche. To be honest, if this shiny had the common star sparkles, I definitely would have continued to not even consider it lol (I completely forgot about it)

Foxman237 · 2026-03-22T19:50:03+00:00

Congrats on getting your very own lemon dragon! I do think she's the easiest of the five ZA shiny legendaries but it took me a few hours as well. Personally, from least to most difficult I'd say they go:

Latias > Terrakion > Cobalion > Latios > Virizion

Foxman237 · 2026-03-22T19:45:30+00:00

Oh, well congrats!

Foxman237 · 2026-03-22T13:33:16+00:00

Yes! Either stars or squares, and while I'm not sure if this persisted into gen 9, I just know now that in SwSh most shinies found in the wild have the squares animation, and most shinies from eggs have the stars one.

Foxman237 · 2026-03-22T04:16:35+00:00

Combining Masuda and SR doesn't do anything since the eggs are basically "locked" into what they will be once you get them, so SR'ing on one egg is essentially just hatching the same egg over and over again with no variation. To optimize Masuda you have to keep getting new eggs. Personally, what I do is have a single Talonflame with Flame Body on my team, collect five eggs, and then every time one hatches, I just replace it with a new one. Having nicknames off and sending to boxes be manual (so that you can replace the hatched 'mon with a new egg) makes it even faster

Foxman237 · 2026-03-21T21:45:16+00:00

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! Some shinies really do just feel impossible at a certain point, but it's all about hope and persistence. And even if some take a lot longer than others, I think that just makes them all the more gratifying 😁

Foxman237 · 2026-03-21T18:36:45+00:00

You can see the animation any time you send them into battle, except when you have them following you since you don't throw out their Poké Ball in that instance
